[The Sage of Main Street]

Its as predictable as night follows day that the activist lower court judges will rule against trump

The bench is a natural habitat for the TDS virus. It needs an industrial-strength disinfectant.

Those are different concerns.

And your “down vote” on my post is unsupportable by you, Sage. Rheybplainly are different concerns.

Not trying to be rude here: but your hostility towards our law and lawyers, etc., is a very different matter than the thread topic or what we were discussing n that topic.

I don’t care how you view lawyers and the legal system. Simply irrelevant to the subject matter.

‘A federal judge in Rhode Island on Monday ordered the Trump administration to comply with his order to unfreeze federal grants, after attorneys general for several Democratic states claimed the directive was not being fulfilled. In a short order, U.S. District Judge John McConnell directed the Trump administration to “immediately” end any federal funding pause until he decides whether to indefinitely block the freeze while litigation is ongoing.

The judge said specifically that the withheld funds that must be restored include those appropriated under two laws championed by former President Biden — the Inflation Reduction Act and Infrastructure Improvement and Jobs Act — and those intended for institutes and other agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

“The broad categorical and sweeping freeze of federal funds is, as the Court found, likely unconstitutional and has caused and continues to cause irreparable harm to a vast portion of this country,” McConnell wrote.’

McConnell' s wife runs an NGO that receives its money from USAID. It won't be long benefit that connection disqualifies the judge.
